Bush honors Lincoln.
By on Feb 10th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Bush honors Lincoln.
Tuesday, Feb. 12, marks the 199th anniversary of President Lincoln’s birthday. But President Bush is already commemorating the occasion, today speaking about the former president:
”It’s fitting that we honor Abe Lincoln,” Bush said in the ornate East Room of the White House. ”Of all the successors to George Washington, none had a bigger impact on the presidency and the country.”
In a recent interview with Fox News, Bush tried to “equate himself” with Lincoln. Karl Rove also compared Bush to Lincoln in his ability to “get to the nub of the thing.”

The Shrub gets to the nub. Heh
February 10th, 2008 at 7:56 pmSAT question:
Bush is to Lincoln
as
A) Coal is to diamond
February 10th, 2008 at 7:59 pmB) Sh|t is to manure
c) Dunce is to genius
d) algae is to human
We used to laugh at “Bagdad Bob” in 2003. The media made a big joke about ridiculing that guy.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:00 pmWe now have our own American version in Bush, Rove and the rest of the delusional dead-enders who think they can “make their own reality”.
Unfortunately for them that reality only exists in their own heads .
Lincoln had a horse and Bush is roughly equal to one of that horse’s turds.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:09 pmIf bush had been alive back in the 1860’s he would have paid someone to go fight for him like the rest of the aristocracy did.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:12 pmBush:Lincoln::fiction:truth.
In a little side note, have you noticed that as Obama caught up with Hillary in actual elected delegates, that the corporate media (CNN and Faux) have decided to throw in some alleged pledged so-called super delegates into the pot, to try to keep Hillary on top. You also may be interested to read about how the Washington State Republicans stopped counted after 87% and then declared that Canal Zone McCain was the “winner.” It’s funny how Republicans have a thing about stopping counting votes. Well, it worked for them in Florida in 2000 and it may work for Canal Zone McCain in Washington State in 2008.
Cheers.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:14 pmActually, I think there are some extra letters in that quote from KKKarl — shouldn’t it be that Bush has “the ability to get to nuthing”?
February 10th, 2008 at 8:17 pmUh oh. Does Bush mean to suggest that Lincoln was more important than Reagan? Blasphemy!!
February 10th, 2008 at 8:25 pmIf bush had been alive back in the 1860’s he would have paid someone to go fight for him like the rest of the aristocracy did.
Comment by Bobwurst — February 10, 2008 @ 8:12 pm
If Bush had been alive in the 1860s someone would have dueled him and killed him. End of story.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:25 pmA delusional megalomaniac who is directly responsible for the deaths of nearly a million Iraqis and almost 4,000 Americans. He may think he is Lincoln but he is more closely resembles a small time petty self important mass murderer who thinks he is doing Gods work.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:27 pm“equate himself†with Hitler. This would be more true.
Buck Fush
February 10th, 2008 at 8:29 pmBush is more like a Lincoln Penny. Neither is worth very much. Bush is more like a Lincoln Log. No use in building anything real and permanent. Bush is more like a Lincoln automobile. Just an expensive Ford that needs a lot more gas. Bush is more like the Lincoln Memorial. Looks like a leader but is just an image.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:37 pmThe Chimp’s delusions are getting worse.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:37 pmLincoln, by the way, hated to be called “Abe.”
February 10th, 2008 at 8:42 pmEveryone hates me.
Comment by good_golly
So true, so true.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:43 pm12. The Democrats hated Lincoln too.

And there the similarities end.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:43 pmParis Hilton is closer to being Lincoln than W.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:44 pmPerhaps I should have said. Paris Hilton is closer than W to being Lincoln.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:46 pmLOL, the evil, corrupt Bush once again opens his mouth and proves to everyone why he is the King of the Lunatic Fringe.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:50 pmkdoug-
Thank you for making my night. You summed it up brilliantly and all I can say is if Bush lived in Florida I would have Baker Acted him by now and succeeded.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:55 pmHe may think he is Lincoln but he is more closely resembles a small time petty self important mass murderer who thinks he is doing Gods work.
Comment by kdoug — February 10, 2008 @ 8:27 pm
I’d actually like to combine this withcomment #5:
If bush had been alive back in the 1860’s he would have paid someone to go fight for him like the rest of the aristocracy did.
Comment by Bobwurst — February 10, 2008 @ 8:12 pm
and point out that, while one may see Bush as more closely resembl(ing) a small time petty self important mass murderer, as bobwurst noted, he’s not even getting his hands dirty doing it.

70% of America are democrats now? You can’t find anyone who will admit to voting for the deserter and the draftdodger.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:08 pmOh, how cute!
GiGi has discovered a new way to name-jack commenters! She simply makes up some statement that to her psychotic mind is damaging to one’s reputation, and tries to pass it off as an actual comment!
Isn’t that adorable?
February 10th, 2008 at 9:09 pmNah, no similarities there.
Comment by good_golly — February 10, 2008 @ 9:12 pm
Its fairly clear that you don’t actually believe any of the garbage that you post. Are you just starved for attention?
February 10th, 2008 at 9:13 pmThat GiGi is just so precious!
She thinks that her stupidity excuses her dishonesty.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:17 pmgoon_golly is “making a point.” That would be a first.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:20 pmBush does remind me of Lincoln. A 64 Lincoln in the back yard of some hill billy’s home, roof rotted off, sitting on concrete blocks, oil leaks on the ground and the chickens have shit all over the interior.
Time to haul that POS to the salvage yard and smash it into a block for recycling.

You know very well that the context has changed very greatly fromthe days of the Civil War to modern times. I highly suspect that you don’t believe the garbage you post.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:22 pmBush should honor Lincoln by shooting himself in a theater.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:28 pmActually, Good Golly’s right on this one.

Yes, historically accurate. But I suspect that any two Presidents can be made to resemble one another if one is so inclined.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:29 pmAre these GOP goons bucking for another civil war?
February 10th, 2008 at 9:30 pmYes, historically accurate. But I suspect that any two Presidents can be made to resemble one another if one is so inclined.
Comment by erock — February 10, 2008 @ 9:29 pm
It should be mentioned though that nothing Lincoln did during his time in office was explicitly illegal. All of it was determined to be unconstitutional at a later date. Not so with Bush.

And they STILL run the DNC??? Whoa! THAT’S impressive, Li’l g!

February 10th, 2008 at 9:39 pmYes, he definitely sucks.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:41 pmYes, obtuse. Obtuse on purpose. Willful ignorance is the vanguard of the modern GOP.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:46 pmShit, Dr Matt… there was a time when the Repubs actually were the progressives in the US political system, and were big on conservation.
Hey, waittaminute… Conservatives… conservation… huh… same root word… wha’ the Fo{k happened? How did a bunch o’ guys who cared so much about conservation that they named themselves after the concept ever turn into the GOOP of today?
Mustabin sumpin in da water…
February 10th, 2008 at 9:48 pmJefferson Davis also suspended habeas corpus in the Confederacy and was probably even more hated by Democrats than Lincoln. I’d say its a good bet that he also locked up some suspected yankees. I’m sure Bush will save that comparison for his speaking tour down in Dixie.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:54 pmExcuse me all, but G-G was found to be LYING here too.

there’s a word for that kind of behavior.

joe, c’mon, this is standard operating procedures for the traitorous GOP.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:59 pmGG, I know your not trying to equate a civil war with a freedom operation, colonisation/nation building, in Iraq.
February 10th, 2008 at 10:00 pmI missed that one, joe. Disgusting.
Were you here last fall when some of the trolls went after Pat Tillman?
Absolutely shameless, repulsive behavior…
February 10th, 2008 at 10:00 pmLincoln worked to keep the nation together, Bush works to divide it.

February 10th, 2008 at 10:05 pmjoe, do not even bother. There is no reason to prove anything. There can only be one rationale thought for how someone could be so loathesome, and slef-disrespecting, and that is that they are a paid shill, so joe, don’t even go there.
February 10th, 2008 at 10:06 pmI dont think that anyone paid GG, [who I am not posting too] after all who would pay for such irrational postings?
February 10th, 2008 at 10:06 pmIt is a fairly logical conclusion, Li’l g… who would voluntarily come here and humiliate themselves the way you do, DAILY, fer free?
February 10th, 2008 at 10:07 pmjoe, it is obvious that gg has been caught now in two lies, one on this thread and the other thread.
February 10th, 2008 at 10:07 pmgg is dead. No reason to beat it.
Lincoln worked hard as youth, Bush had a silver spoon since birth. Lincoln read as many books as he could, even by fire light, while Bush….
February 10th, 2008 at 10:08 pmLincoln delivered some of the most moving speeches, while Bush stutters his way through a series of lies. Definitely, no correlation.
Bush burned the books for light.

February 10th, 2008 at 10:09 pmW’s not a Lincoln. He’s not even a Ford!
I’ll bet you won’t hear any Republican candidates praise Lincoln in front of their absolute base: The 13 states of the Old Confederacy. They’d be tarred and feathered because the Republican base still hates Lincoln today.
Lincoln was the strongest critic in Congress of the war with Mexico. He said it was US aggression. He was right.
He had emergency measures when we were in a Civil War. We have not been in a civil war the past 7+ years, stoopid trolls.

February 10th, 2008 at 10:20 pmBush is turning into a Shakespearean tragic figure. Like MacBeth roaming the halls of the White House, the notion of his failure just sinking in. The guilt of the blood of hundreds of thousands of people staining his hands. It just wont wash off will it George?
February 10th, 2008 at 10:20 pmwhile we’re waiting for gg’s next prevarication, you might want to read the sen. inyoue’s official citation for his bravery and heroism. compare and contrast with george w. bush’s military record (if you can find it.)
Citation:
February 10th, 2008 at 10:21 pmSecond Lieutenant Daniel K. Inouye distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 21 April 1945, in the vicinity of San Terenzo, Italy. While attacking a defended ridge guarding an important road junction, Second Lieutenant Inouye skillfully directed his platoon through a hail of automatic weapon and small arms fire, in a swift enveloping movement that resulted in the capture of an artillery and mortar post and brought his men to within 40 yards of the hostile force. Emplaced in bunkers and rock formations, the enemy halted the advance with crossfire from three machine guns. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Second Lieutenant Inouye crawled up the treacherous slope to within five yards of the nearest machine gun and hurled two grenades, destroying the emplacement. Before the enemy could retaliate, he stood up and neutralized a second machine gun nest. Although wounded by a sniper’s bullet, he continued to engage other hostile positions at close range until an exploding grenade shattered his right arm. Despite the intense pain, he refused evacuation and continued to direct his platoon until enemy resistance was broken and his men were again deployed in defensive positions. In the attack, 25 enemy soldiers were killed and eight others captured. By his gallant, aggressive tactics and by his indomitable leadership, Second Lieutenant Inouye enabled his platoon to advance through formidable resistance, and was instrumental in the capture of the ridge. Second Lieutenant Inouye’s extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army.
Laura’s like a Yugo. On a cold winter’s night—when you really need her—she won’t turn over.

Theodore Roosevelt, layed out in 1912 a very similar occurrence in our history.
“The deliberate betrayal of its trust by the Republican party, the fatal incapacity of the Democratic party to deal with the new issues of the new time, have compelled the people to forge a new instrument of government through which to give effect to their will in laws and institutions.â€

February 10th, 2008 at 10:27 pmDon’t worry joe, no “proof” needed as these are but the crazy instructions of a lunatic Neocon supporter. “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”
February 10th, 2008 at 10:28 pm98. Yes, Sen. Inouye did great things 63 years ago. Nobody questions that.

February 10th, 2008 at 10:34 pmIf Abe crawled out of his grave and took a look at what we have for an administration now he’d probably conclude that the Civil War was lost.

February 10th, 2008 at 10:35 pm“Bush honors Lincoln.”
Memo to the Clown President: Give it a rest.
Bush has worn out Lincoln’s name that it is getting nauseating. Too many dutchies that he has been smoking. Here is a fact of Lincoln:
Quote:
“He failed in business in ‘31. He was defeated for state legislator in ‘32.He tried another business in ‘33. It failed. His fiancee died in ‘35. He had a nervous breakdown in ‘36. In ‘43 he ran for congress and was defeated. He tried again in ‘48 and was defeated again. He tried running for the Senate in ‘55. He lost.The next year he ran for Vice President and lost. In ‘59 he ran for the Senate again and was defeated. In 1860, the man who signed his name A. Lincoln, was elected the 16th President of the United States.
And the Hot Air-in-Chief:
He stole the 2000 election.
He stole the 2004 election.
He will leave a 8 year legacy as the Worst President Ever.

February 10th, 2008 at 10:47 pmhey gg, here’s something about your friend “dick” cheney from “crooks and liars”
Cheney has been trying to hide from this case for a while now:
The office of Vice President Dick Cheney is seeking to block the release of videotaped depositions given by two aides who witnessed a physical encounter between an Iraq war opponent and Cheney.
In a motion filed Saturday, Cheney’s office contended that the videotapes could be used to invade the privacy and embarrass two aides called to testify about the encounter in a civil lawsuit.
The motion for a protective order expressed particular concern that both aides’ faces could wind up on YouTube.com. The plaintiff, Steven Howards of Golden, is suing Secret Service agents who arrested him after he approached Cheney at a Beaver Creek mall in 2006 and told the vice president his policies in Iraq were “disgusting.â€
Eagle County prosecutors dismissed a criminal charge of harassment filed against Howards

Amen.
February 10th, 2008 at 11:01 pmone of the reasons i love tp is that it reminds me of my favorite rolling stones tune. a real classic called “think”
I’m givin’ you a piece of my mind.
February 10th, 2008 at 11:09 pmThere no charge of any kind.
Try a very simple test.
You should just retrace your steps.
And think back, back a little bit baby.
Back, back alright.
Think, think, think back baby.
Think, think back a bit girl.
Think, think, think back baby.
Tell me who’s fault was that, babe?
Tell me who’s fault was that, babe?
Think about a year ago.
How we lived I’ll never know.
Connin’ people for a dime.
Here’s another piece of my mind.
And think back, back a little bit baby.
Back, back alright.
Think, think, think back baby.
Think, think back a bit girl.
Think, think, think back baby.
Tell me who’s fault was that, babe?
Tell me who’s fault was that, babe?
Take a look inside yourself.
You’re not really someone else.
Still, I am the same old me.
You say I lack maturity.
But think back, back a little bit baby.
Back, back, alright!
We’re not children anymore.
We don’t need to play with toys.
Take a look and you will find
You’re gettin’ old before your time.
But think back, back a little bit baby.
Back, back alright.
Think, think, think back baby.
Think, think I said back a bit girl.
Think, think, think back baby.
Tell me who’s fault was that, babe?
Tell me who’s fault was that, babe?
I said think.
You’d better think back a little bit.
I said think.
What about last year and the year before?
I said think.
You promised me so much.
I said think.
Doncha ‘member what you said?
â€It’s fitting that we prosecute Bush. Of all the successors to George Washington, none had a bigger impact on the presidency and the country.â€
There. I fixed it
February 10th, 2008 at 11:13 pmi miss gg!
February 10th, 2008 at 11:17 pmjoe, and the trolls remind me of the Stones classic.
Out of Time…
You don’t know what’s goin on….
February 10th, 2008 at 11:19 pmBush would have kept slavery just ask MaMa Barbara Bush who still doesn’t know the slaves are free. We truly have a President who honors Jack Daniels and Mr. Weed. Abe would say if he could, George W. Bush’s brain is fried by the drugs he’s taken for many years. Yes if you ever wondered why George has a problem with speaking or reading it’s the Mr. Weed that destroyed most of his brains.
February 10th, 2008 at 11:21 pmYou don’t know what’s goin on….

February 10th, 2008 at 11:23 pmwhy is the proven liar gg trying to claim that she isn’t paid to spew her crap here? It’s obvious; nobody else would come up with this much crap for free. Now that she’s been shown to be a serial liar, there is no reason to respond to any of her posts. Like all republicans tools, she can’t be trusted.
February 10th, 2008 at 11:24 pmAw, guys, give poor g_g a break… Li’l g’s jes’ sittin’ by tha fax machine, waitin’ fer his/her next talking points memo from RNC headquarters… either that, or s/he’s off somewhere “private” w/ some nasty S&M porno… jes’ a-wishing ‘n a-hopin’…

On the other hand, the idea of an *ss for a donkey does have a twisted sense of humor to it, doesn’t it?
I’d like to think Hunter Thompson would approve…
February 10th, 2008 at 11:40 pmSo, FitterDon, what yer tryin’ ta say is that Abe ‘n Georgie are more like bookends… a kinda Before ‘n After thing going’ on…
February 10th, 2008 at 11:41 pmBush should move to Iraq and volunteer to lead the Baath Party. They need a new megalomaniacal authoritarian to revive them.

February 10th, 2008 at 11:55 pmYea, bookends for all those PDB’s Condi was collecting for him that he never had time to read because he was so engrossed in “My Pet Goat.”

Abraham Lincoln wrote, “Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in few hands and the republic is destroyed.”

Moonbats of course hate him for it.
You never disappoint me.

Comment by BERT CONVY — February 11, 2008 @ 8:57 am
Your stuidity never disappoints either. Bush doesn’t honor anyone; any time Bush speaks, it’s dishonoring the USA. Figures that a moron traitor like you would buy it, though.
February 11th, 2008 at 9:19 amlooks like gg and bert are sharing the half of Bush’s brain that he shat out this morning.
February 11th, 2008 at 9:24 amA few more quotes that stand as a direct rebuttal to anyone foolish enough to compare our current buffon in chief to President Lincoln:
“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”
“The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to Congress was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons. Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This, our Convention understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.”
“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.”
“Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose—and you allow him to make war at pleasure.”
all quotes by A. Lincoln

of course, Obama is not the one comparing himself to Lincoln, you buffoon. Your idiot-in-chief is the one stupid enough to expose his treason by pulling that stunt. Nice dodge, though, from a proven liar. You have no shame, or you’d never show up here again, having been caught in your lies repeatedly. Republicans have no morals, and gg proves it, again and again.
February 11th, 2008 at 9:53 amOn top of it, gg quotes a leading racist fool. Wow.

February 11th, 2008 at 9:55 amGG- Did you know that Alan Keyes suffered a humiliating defeat by Obama? I read the source of your “interesting reading” and it is a Reich-wing propaganda outlet.
February 11th, 2008 at 9:55 amIn a recent interview with Fox News, Bush tried to “equate himself†with Lincoln.
